new york city friends! we couldn't imagine spending the day after valentine's day (February 15th, 2010) with anyone else. who better than YOU, new york city, could help us nurse our candy heart hangovers? we've decided, quite spontaneously, to offer an opportunity for some of you to spend an intimate night with us at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. perhaps it's worth noting that my use of the word intimate only applies to the small-ish…
[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/8976099[/vimeo] Yesterday we spent our day off in Quebec City at the Valcartier Vacation Village... It is a water-park that they turn into a winter wonderland after the season's first snowfall. The website claims that you can reach speeds of 80 km/h on their tube/raft runs...i believe it. The band and crew, somewhat unprepared for a day at the ski hill, cobbled together what warm clothes they could find. We made quite a scene in…
We are sitting backstage at the Bronson Centre in Ottawa. Tonight is the 1st of 2 shows here at this beautiful venue. Officially we are in the final stretch! 5 shows left and we're done for a few weeks before heading back into the US. Its been 2 years since we toured Canada and boy have we missed everyone. This past month has been a dream. Every night I fall asleep counting my lucky stars…

We will be doing a live interview and two acoustic songs at The Edge studio on Yonge Street this Thursday in Toronto!! There is room for about 40 fans to come into the studio to watch and listen. This will be a first-come, first-serve thing, so get there early! It's a glass street-level studio, so if you don't make it in, you can still watch from the sidewalk (but it's outside and probably not that…

Thanks to all the amazing fans in Edmonton! Show #2 about to start...can't wait! Its been warm but not warm enough to melt the piles of fresh powder in the parks. Shot another great snowshoe with Tegan and Shaun today! Second Dream Blog is up: http://pinkmafia.ca/blog/2010/01/12/tour-diary-sara-quin-tegan-sara-day-2/ And finally, please to those of you who are waiting for hours in the parking lot after the show...for a number of reasons, the main one being safety, we'd…
Hockey. We've been watching it our whole lives. First it was the Calgary Flames and then my step dad Bruce's team The Lacers. (we really didn't know the difference between the NHL and our step dads league at age 7). Bruce also loved the Habs so we would cheer for Montreal if the Flames were bumped out of the play offs early. When the Flames won the Stanley Cup in 1989 Sara and I were…
Today was our first day of show-shoeing! Calgary is in full Chinook and it was 5 degrees Celsius! Absolutely stunning and sunny and clear. We were quite busy so we settled for the parkade roof next to the jubilee auditorium. It was Tegan's first attempt at snowshoeing, and in full bategan get-up, she became a full convert! Shaun will film us every day, and I intend on cutting together some sort of short film about…
Part of what makes touring so special is getting to spend time with  your dear friends. In this case, they also happen to be in one of my favorite bands. AN HORSE has already blown minds all over british columbia! This tour is going to be particularly fun being that we've forced kate and damon to ride on one of our busses in order to ensure MASSIVE amounts of quality time. if you're curious where…
